Minnesota Flyer magazine,
February 2008. "Start of a Dream... Building my own aircraft," by
Terry Croup, pages 10 - 13. Terry reports attending the Zenith
factory workshop where he assembled his
STOL rudder kit: "Folks, the whole process is great fun. With the
pride I felt after building just the rudder I simply cannot imagine what
a thrill it will be to have the airplane completed and flying. An
aircraft built with my own hands."

"S.T.O.L." - In CAPITAL Letters" (online)"The Zenair CH-801 is an extraordinary aircraft. Sure, its
boxy and not nearly as sleek as the latest Lancair, but its got a HUGE 4-place cabin, an
excellent stability and control profile, good visibility and the ability to land in areas
that other aircraft can barely park in. No kidding, folks, I know it isn't the prettiest
belle at the ball, but this little lady can do stuff that will blow you away. I was doing
landings last year that barely used 100+ feet (and mind you, I was just learning to fly
this particular aircraft... think what you can do with practice) and such capabilities
open up whole new worlds that the average Cessna or Mooney will NEVER be able to take you
to. If you're looking for something uncommon and you like to play out of little landing
strips or fields, you gotta party with this baby. Better yet; this airplane is also backed
by a fine company with a solid history (a lot more important a criteria than most
realize)."
